At the end of the discussion, the command team of the expeditionary force also unified their understanding that if two cosmic civilizations with the same level of science and technology broke out in a head-on conflict, it would definitely be the result of losing both. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 Therefore, peaceful coexistence and avoiding war are the best options. What's more, the expeditionary force still has a heavy responsibility, and it is only a small part of human civilization, and its strength is relatively weak.

After the expeditionary team's scientific team carefully analyzed all the star systems ahead, and avoided all the star systems that were most suitable for large-scale interstellar development, the scientific team chose three relatively safe routes:

After the plan was proposed, the command team of the expeditionary force finally decided on the advance plan after several rounds of discussions. In this route, you first pass through a binary star system and then pass through the edge of a red dwarf star with a smaller mass.

Due to the high speed of the binary star system, the scientific team judged that there should be no planets in this chaotic gravitational system. The other red dwarf star is too small in mass and has a low probability of having planets in the system.

If there were no planets inside the star system, then the target of becoming an interstellar colony would be relatively small. Of course, that doesn't mean she doesn't have a use value. Perhaps some advanced cosmic civilization will enclose such a lone star in a structure similar to a Dyson sphere (an artificial celestial body that wraps the star to mine star energy) and completely possess her light and heat.

......

After 1.6 Earth years of flight, the expeditionary fleet first approached the binary star system.

Adjacent to the binary star system are two solitary star systems that are close together and form a triangular shape in the starry sky. Among them, star A is 7.2 light-years away and star B is 15.6 light-years away (the star systems are not in the same plane, so the relative distance situation is complicated).

The expeditionary force chose the gap between the binary star system and star B to sail forward, and tried to get closer to the binary star system, because, after model deduction, there are at least three or more planets in star B system, and there is a great possibility of the existence of unknown cosmic civilizations.

"Report Leader, the main body of the fleet is approximately 2.6 light-years away from the binary star system."

Sergei was in charge of commanding the fleet's specific sailing tasks, and he would report the specific sailing parameters of the fleet to Yuan at intervals.

"Extinguish all high-power engines and let the entire fleet completely enter the inertial flight phase."

"Yes!!"

"Remove all the reflectors on the space carrier, the solar electromagnetic panels, and minimize the light reflectivity!"

"Yes!!"

"Reduce the frequency of short-range communication and prohibit any ultra-long-range means of communication!!"

"Yes!!"

In order to ensure thoroughness, Yuan Haochen issued several orders in a row.

If we could stand in space and observe from a distance, the entire expeditionary fleet glided forward like a swarm of gray meteorites.

"The scientific team's analysis is quite correct, this binary star system moves quite fast on its own, and there can be no planets in such a chaotic gravitational engagement. It is also not very suitable for the construction of a space base. Yuan Haochen stared at the two fireballs in the starry sky as he said, "I hope the fleet can pass through this dark ...... smoothly."

Although there are no planets or space bases in a binary system, the probability of a probe is high. Therefore, Yuan Haochen did not think that this place would be absolutely safe.

The expeditionary fleet had re-accelerated to 9.91 times the speed of light in three-dimensional space before approaching the binary system. If you follow this speed, as long as you continue to fly for 2~3 months, you can smoothly pass through the binary star system.

This time, the expeditionary force was lucky, and the entire fleet was unfazed, and it crossed the binary system as expected.

As soon as the fleet moved away from the binary system, the expeditionary force re-energized its engines, fine-tuned its course, and flew to the right of another small red dwarf star on the planned route.

Red dwarfs are usually too weak to be observed with the naked eye alone. The red dwarf star was so faint that it was only captured relatively clearly when the expeditionary force was at a distance of 4 light-years from it.

The red dwarf's chromosphere is inactive, and although eruptions of its chromosphere can be observed in the X-ray band, it is not noticeable. As the scientific team speculated, she is a lone star, and it is difficult to find any traces of massive objects in the star system.

Around the red dwarf, there are three stars. Star A is 5.7 light-years away, star B is 8.6 light-years away, and star C is 11.4 light-years away. After considering this, the Expeditionary Force's scientific team chose to pass through the gap between her and Star C.

As long as it successfully passes through this red dwarf star, the expeditionary force will be out of the danger zone and basically far from the control of the unknown cosmic civilization.

As the goal got closer, the nerves of all the members of the expeditionary force became more and more tense.

"How far away are we from the red dwarf now!" Yuan asked Sergei.

"3.3 light-years left!" Sergei replied in a loud voice, "The fleet will pass 2.7 light-years in a straight line to the right of the red dwarf." ”

"Good! Heighten vigilance!! It was already the last moment, Yuan Haochen told more and more cautiously.

"Yes!! All Phantom Frivolates are in combat readiness! ”

Yuan Haochen nodded and didn't say anything more.

Then, he turned and walked towards a simulated star map in the command center, where the red dwarf star was visible.

On one side of the red dwarf, there is a bright spot, which represents the position of the expeditionary fleet. About a light-year away from the fleet, several asteroids are slowly orbiting from the gravitational pull of the red dwarf.

"Straight through these asteroids?"

Yuan Haochen secretly thought to himself, he always felt that these asteroids appeared very suddenly, and he was not willing to have close contact with them.

"If you adjust the course now, the high-powered engine will produce strong light and strong radiation ......"

At this moment, Yuan Haochen was also a little contradictory.

"No matter, I hope I'm too worried, just move forward." Yuan Haochen made a decision in his heart, "I hope to cross this land of right and wrong as soon as possible......"

Like Hara, everyone in the expeditionary force was praying that the fleet would be able to survive this final journey.

People are excited, apprehensive, and full of anticipation, but at the same time, they are tormented by the constant tension.

This time, the expeditionary force was unlucky.

According to Murphy's Law, if there is a chance that something will go bad, no matter how small that likelihood, it will always happen.

The more people worry, the more they can't escape......
